4 REVOLT of serious Dimensions has taken
place IN the order of knights of labor, a kind
of secession aud an organization of a rival
order. to be called the improved knights of
labor The object of this rival organization
appears to be to advance the cause Of social
ism, communism, anarchism and kindred
isms that should never have been tolerated
by the free laborers of America. One Of the
blatant, red-mouthed promoters of the
scheme says, IL know scarcely n man, active
in this labor movement, who is not social
list in principle" If il be a fact that even a
majority of the so-caled friends of labor are
socialists. then instead of being its friends,
they are labor's worst enemies. Mr.. Pow
Derby has taken n bold stand against having
the knights of labor connected with socialism
or enarchism in any way, and il is greatly to
his credit that he has done so. II the order
cannot live without being controlled by or even
tinctured with these abominable and I'M
1t is certain that il cannot long survive with
them, and if it must die, by all means let it
die an honorable death Mr.. PowDERLy and
those who stand by him and with him will
certainly have the good wishes and the sym
PATTY of all classes of citizens except those
blatherskites who were forced to flee their
own country for their own safety, and who
never ought to have been permitted to seek
an asylum in this country, whose benefcent
institutions they would like to overthrow and
destroy.

IL there are any opposition votes in the
Michigan legislature. IN favor of submitting
n prohibitory NORTHUMBERLAND We trust
there will be, for we believe there are some
opposition members who will dare to do
right-they will be cast against the advice of
the opposition press. The Detroit F'ro0
Press takes the lead in opposing submission,
and in using it's utmost endeavors to per
susde democrats and rreenbackers to vote
against the measure while, on the other hand
there is practical unanimity on the part OF
the republican press in favor OF it. And yet
political prohibitionists want to overthrow
the republican party-the only party that
has either the power or will to do Just what
they pretend to want to have done--and put
the democratic party in power, a party whose
organs oppose submission and that has never
intimated that 1t would submit the question

No old soldier of Michigan, however un-
fortunate or poverty stricken he may be,
need fear that he will have to spend the rem
nant of bis days in the poorhouse. The
state has provided comfortable home for
all such. where they may live in peace and
quiet, the wards of grateful people, who
have not forgotten their deeds of valor and
heroism, nor the days when the old veterans
barred their breasts to the leaden storm and
stood, living bulwark, between them and

Tyr legislature Of Michigan meets to-da

THE legislature of Michigan meets to-day.
One of the very first measures to be consid-
ered by that body should be the submission
of prohibitory amendment to a vote of the
people. No other matter of equal importance
unless it be the election OF United States
senator, will engage its attention during the
session. The NoRrHEENER hopes to SEQ such
amendment submitted at an early date. Van
Buren County is fortunate in having three Of
it's most honored citizens in that body. each
of whom can be relied upon to do ali that
lies in their power to secure such a result.

Ons of the last official acts of Governor
ALoER was to pardon Mrs LASsER from the
Detroit House of Correction, TO which she
was sentenced for life, some three years
since, on charge of murder. Her husband
was subsequently tried and acquitted on the
same charge, although precisely the same
evidence was presented against him as
against his wife. Her conviction seems to
have been in response to popular clamor,
instead of punishment for guilt that was
established by testimony, and both the board
of pardons and the governor became fully
convinced that she was innocent of the
crime of which she was convicted and for
the alleged commission of which she has
been branded as a felon and has already suf-

IT is labor, rather than capital, that seems

of wisdom to follow his counsels. "A house

the refusal, it is averred, will be found to bear
some connection with the recent wheat specula-
tions in Chicago. the country wheat being kept
back until it's delivery could be made serviceable
to the spectators, which course of procedure
proved ruinous to the farmers. They have been
informed that if the railroad objects to the docu-

the proper way of taking evidence for submission
